I know a lot of people miss Greg but I'm glad you've been able to keep this going.
M K , Pat is so unenthusiastic. I miss Greg hope he comes back
@@maybeim2372 I know how hard it can be to find people to work with and have to recast a part after someone drops out so I appreciate that Dan has been able to carry on.
I miss Greg
@@maybeim2372 Disagree completely.
I always enjoy a recast on any show even though It sucks the way Greg had to go and I wish him the best it's always nice to see what someone else can bring to a show. I think the trick is not to expect a replacement but enjoy it for what it is
The funniest thing about this game is that at the vertical Bartzilla level, a kid throws a SNES at you in the Genesis version, and a Genesis at you in the SNES version :).
It's my favorite
This video deserves an A, Bart's Nightmare deserves an F
Agreed
Along with Bart vs the Space Mutants, and Kamp Krusty.
I think this game falls into the “interesting concept, poorly executed” bucket.
So true.
There's a funny little "console wars" related Easter egg in the game that's different depending on which version you are playing. During the level where you are climbing the building as Bartzilla, if you are playing the SNES version, people will drop Sega Genesis systems out the window. If you playing the Genesis version, they will drop Super Nintendo systems.
I gotta say... both games don't look (haven't actually played them) half bad. The devs seem to have put the effort and soul into them
Cheappy V
I have. They're fucking terrible
@Requiem4aDr3Am _"All we wanted was The Simpson’s Arcade ported Home instead we got LJN/Acclaim/Flying Edge which are all the same, dogshit."_
Unfortunately, rights ownership probably had a lot to do with that. Konami may have obtained the arcade rights from Fox whereas Acclaim got the console rights.
And instead of Acclaim having Konami develop a console port of the arcade game, they preferred to develop their own games for the consoles through their own developer subsidiaries or developers under contract with them.
Dan is uncannily good as Otto. And kudos for going the extra mile with the yellow body paint.
A really feared that this channel was done for when Greg left but the new guys settled in very well imo. It’s really hard to replace a member of a duo and tbh he’s nailing it.
Ps. Hope Greg’s doing ok
"So you're telling me your clouds look worse for looking more CLOUDY?" XD
The delivery on this episode's script was fantastic.
Saxdude26 Thank you! I know the acting isn’t perfect but glad to hear some people thought it was good.
@@ConsoleWars I can safely say that the acting is way better than it really needs to be.
Greg, if you're reading this... get well, friend
Word! Much love to Greg. Do ur thang. I hope one time for u to make a quick cameo when u are more than 100% ready to do so. Like a crossover with Pat when the episode overall somehow makes sense! And Pat is making the SNES role his own! Dan, keep working ur creative R&D. I know u can make it happen! The right game and concept for the episode is somewhere around the corner! *peace sign*
@@edwayne a crossover (maybe not even one) would be awesome
@@cheappyv5156 It would be really cool. No pressure on Greg. We all just letting him know that he will always be welcomed back to Console Wars by the fans, cast, crew, Nintendo, etc.! And peace to u as well, Cheappy V. It's all 16-bit love here haha Keep the Versus Mode goin', Pat and Dan!
He's well. That's why he's off the show. He's all grown up now. Jk
@@Lightblue2222 bad joke
This is the best Otto Man cosplay that I have seen in a long time! The acting The Voice everything!
I'll admit, that dude was convincing as Otto.
Thank you! It was a lot of work, so I'm glad it looked decent.
@@ConsoleWars you did forget his makeup in the bus scene, though.
what did you use for the color?
@@ConsoleWars dude, TOP NOTCH. Had to pause the video to crack up. Havent laughed that hard in a while.
This game massively haunted my childhood, especially when not knowing how to play this game as a child. Great episode guys, thanks!
It haunted you? So this game was a nightmare, hey at least it lives up to it's title, amirite?
OMG Otto cosplay is on point 😂
Looks like you guys took a dip in highlighter fluid or somethin’
"like star Mario or as I call him "Stario""
"or like like Sonic or as I call him...."Sonic""
got a good chuckle outta that
Almost cut that last line. Glad I didn't now.
I remember renting this for my Megadrive (Genesis) - I couldn't even figure out how to get anywhere, hahaha
Your 38K subscribers should be 38M. I don't understand 😐
That would be cool.
@@ConsoleWars 21 second like and reply... incredible.
I usually check out the comments often when I release a new vid. Always try to reply to the early comments.
If they cut out all the stupid shit and just compared the games they would likely have more subs. I struggle with the non game related stuff. I'm sure I'm not the only one
@@louyork553 You on your period bro?
Nice episode guys, gotta love that cosplay as Otto, keep it up with stuff like this!
Did anyone else find that slightly wonky version of the nutcracker song during the dream sequence skit as hilarious as I did? I might be extra tired but for some reason that song got me pretty good haha. Nice work fellas, entertaining as usual :).
*THAT'S IT ARE WE DOIN' THIS?!*
YEEEEEP
Okely Dokely!
@@thelegendtl Do Worms Have Butts?
Yeah They're At The Center Of The Body.
CJB The Fuck?
I like the intro music on the Sega Genesis better it sounds more Hip Hop
I miss hip-hop. I really wish this genre was still alive.
@@alexhardline2208 As long as you have _any_ of the old CDs or tapes, *it still is!...* ;]
Hip hop goodness
Really loved the jumping skit in this video. Well done for keeping the show going guys. I really thought it was over after Greg left but the lady few videos have been some of my favourites. Thanks for the great content
That cloud bit was outside the box humor; clever writing! One of many things I love about Console Wars!
Yeah. It was def a weird bit, but I liked it.
somehow you guys just invented the most fun game review ever
I already add this game to my snes classic
It aint that bad..
@@Leny1777 Agreed. This and Virtual Bart get way way more hate than they deserve.
It’s super difficult that’s why people hate it, I enjoyed the challenge
Honestly, I like Pat. Greg was great too, but the show hasn't suffered at all from the recast in my opinion. Great work as always guys!
Oh Yeah. Can u guys do WWF Royal Rumble for the Sega Genesis and SNES
Ironically, Dan (as Otto) kinda sounds like the late great Randy Savage.
They did a few years back.
@@tskraj3190 its actually an another WWF game not Royal Rumble
The WWF they ware talking about was the arcade game.
Yeah do that and raw too
This popped into my feed today. I was surprised to see this as a 1992 release; I didn't think there were any Genesis red-label games until 1993!
Great video! Always love the personality you guys put in them!
How about TMNT Tournament Fighters?
Its on the list!
Console Wars, you ROCK!!!
That game designer section was down right hilarious
Also the "sleepless" researches seems like that it had a really bad impact on that designer's brain
Midnight. Sleep... or console wars? Sigh... I guess I can sleep when I'm dead.
Some here!
This game looked so cool when I rented it as a kid, but I very quickly learned that life is full of promising disappointments.
Love the storyline of your recent videos. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you!
You guys just keep getting better! Paperboy 2 next. Another 'Which is Worse"? :)
I don't think its that bad. Hopefully its a "better" comparison.
Me either. Had it as a kid, so there's some nostalgia there. I know SNES Drunk and AVGN despise it, lol.
Offtop I was thinking the same!
@@chuckobscure The SNES version is gonna lose this one for sure.
Similar to THQ's abysmal Pit-Fighter SNES port, Tengen - AKA Atari Games' console division - farmed out the SNES port's development of their arcade IPs to another company. For Paperboy 2 it was Mindscape while Tengen themselves handled the Genesis port. Once again, the Genesis version ended up being the better of the two.
Ya see, Nintendo was watching Tengen like a hawk after their black cartridge shenanigans so Tengen ended up having other companies publish/develop their games for Nintendo platforms during the SNES era while they were buddy-buddy with Sega's lax policies.
@The Froyuken Files Interesting, thanks. Unfortunately I had the SNES version, haha.
Another great episode. The acting has improved drastically while still being cheesy in the most badass way. Cant wait for the next one!
Mario Mario thanks!
@@ConsoleWarsdid you know that in both versions of Bart's nightmare on the building section of bartzilla in the super Nintendo version, they're throwing Sega Genesis out the window in the Sega version. They're throwing out super Nintendo's cool, huh?
The pages don’t show up randomly. Each page appears when you meet certain criteria. Jumping over a certain amount of heads, jumping over mailboxes, riding your skateboard a certain distance, killing Lisa with Gum, killing enemies with Watermelon seeds. Every single obstacle and character on the dream street is a trigger to making a page appear. If you defeat it or interact with it long enough. Pages appear. If you successfully beat a minigamr and collect that page, that required trigger won’t create a new page in dream street again. Meaning you have to interact with everything at least once to get each page show up. If you lose a mini-game though, you can make it appear again using the same method you did before. Just a little tip ;)
This game is not so ... Terrible. Flawed as it, I enjoyed the bartman, itchy and scratchy and uhm, swimming levels. Sure it coulda have been better but it was a worthwhile experiment.
I actually completed this game a few times when I had the SNES cart when I was a little kid. As soon as I understood the game mechanic, it is quite fun to play which needs a bit of a learning curve
I beat the Sega game somehow, thanks to you guys. Got very level in the Temple of Maggie. But I did notice something you may have missed. You remember that “extra” voiceline that Nintendo has at the end of the Bartman level that Sega was missing? It actually was in the Sega game all along-after you beat the Maggie level lol
Woah Otto Man, let's make nightmares come true!
That yellow skin color is just horrifying 🤣
@@frishdawgz they did a good job on the make up.
Glad to see Pat getting his first W of the show! And props to you on making me lmao at 1:22 and 26:29 XDD
Was an enjoyable episode!! (and for me getting a brief shout out at the end) Am looking forward to next time!!!
You're welcome for the Bad Games btw :3
That made me laugh when I watched this episode for the first time
Another great episode, I'll leave some suggestions below
-Doom vs. Zero Tolerance
-Valis III vs. Super Valis IV (probably some anime jokes you could make with that)
-Like last time I suggest doing Capcom vs Sega in regards to sword and sorcery (Golden Axe 1-3 vs. Magic Sword, King of Dragons, and Knights of The Round respectively)
-Cybernator vs. Target Earth
-Donkey Kong Country 3 vs. Sonic 3D Blast (which is the bigger black sheep to their franchise)
-I you're still interested in NES vs. SMS then Castlevania vs. Vampire Master of Darkness would make for a good halloween episode
I think that's all I have for now, let me know if you see this
Forget Zero Tolerance, Doom should be the SNES version vs the 32X version.
@@DragonKnightGX I thought Doom vs. Zero Tolerance since they haven't done games from the sega peripherals except for What's The Difference, although it looks like that will change since in the recent unboxing video they got the 32x version of doom. At least ZT can still go against Wolfenstein 3D for a different snes vs genesis fps episode.
Pro tip .. you can control the gum by holding Y .. so you can move it all around the screen .. yeh dont worry took me years to work that out too
I know what the next episode will be, but i am not going to say it to spoil it. By the way, Great episode. Now i know that i have played the right version.
Great episode. Even though it's obvious who wins, I wouldn't mind seeing TMNT Tournament Fighters
Paperboy 2 huh.
Tournament fighters is such a drastic difference. The graphics and gameplay are way worse on Sega. I wouldn’t mind a pitfighter comparison, but that would favour Sega. Super street fighter 2 would be a good one. They only did regular one.
Another amazing episode! My question is, how long did it take to get in and out of that yellow makeup?
About half hour to do each. Everything in my house has my yellow fingerprints on it now.
@@ConsoleWars You made an awesome Otto-man, Dan!
I like the scaling when you step on the paper, they could have used something to mimick scaling on sega.
I know a lot of effort and time goes into these and that's why it takes awhile for you to release new episodes, but man I wish these came out more often.
I've seen a Simpsons 16-bit game that's worse than Bart's Nightmare and that is Virtual Bart. That would make a new Console Wars episode.
Mustard - The instant Simpsons costume
Keep the videos coming guys all ways look forward to them!
Oh god please more silly roles for Pat, his "game exec" was just too good.
It took forever to do those scenes cause I kept laughing. Its all on the blooper reel if you're a Patron.
I love the "Which is Worse" videos. Wish there were more like this.
Soon...
@@yeahright5227 I like it because it is different. Exactly, no one argued that their game was worse, that is what makes the videos so good, because they go against the grain.
Awesome video. Best I could do in this game is a B- grade.
Can you guys do College Slam SNES vs Genesis?
Y'all should compare WWF Raw
K-dub just that lol I was just talking about that.
This "Otto" was kinda creepy looking.
Konami had the Simpson's arcade game , why not port that to the SNES and GENESIS ,just like they did with TMNT
I know. That would've made sense and a lot of money.
The only Simpsons game I ever liked was the arcade game.
I think everyone does, because it used the engine of Beat em up games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
@ALEXIS GOMEZ oh yeah you got that one. It was decent and playable. Softcore GTA😁
Wow went all out with Otto like that. Now thats commitment very cool guys!
Well I was going to bed since its 2 a.m. buuuut....this is worth staying up for!
Do Virtual Bart next! I hear that Virtual Bart is better than Bart’s Nightmare!
Adam Bisard It is better and I like but by no means is it a good game on snes. Idk about the genesis.
I own this game for both sytems, and it sucks for both
But i only paid $5.00 for both of them and i still think that it not worth it
vic viper most simpsons games suck.
@@adrenalinex4
True
The only good one, the Simpsons arcade game, its weird that konami didn't port it over to snes, the snes could have handle that game easily just like TMNT turtles in time
@@lldjslim I would have loved to have seen a SNES and Genesis port of Simpsons Arcade. All they'd have to do is *not get Acclaim & Flying Edge to work on the ports!*
vic viper I think it was a licensing Issue. Konami didn’t have the console rights, there was a PC and C64 port and I think maybe an Amiga version? I had the PC version. Was a bit disappointed that it only had EGA graphics, but it wasn’t too bad to play. Definitely better than Bart vs the space mutants and all the other games. I will make an exception for Krusty’s super funhouse. That was a fun and solid game.
I really love the episodes where you argue over which game is worse, not better. Really fun way to play with the format! Great one.
"Lazier, you say? I'm listening..." haha
Just wanted to say that the reason you were having issues in the first half of the Bartzilla stage was because you were spamming attacks.
That section has animation-cancelling. So if you use an attack and don't allow it to land before you press another attack (most specifically, though not exclusively the same attack), you will cancel that animation mid-frame, and it will cause attacks that would have either directly hit, or destroyed enemies via splash/AOE damage not occur.
There is also a fair bit of SUBTLE memorization involved. You kind of have to throw certain attacks out early to catch enemies before they have time to enter the screen and throw out an attack.
BUT it is entirely possible to react-attack and still manage to make your way through the level EVERY SINGLE TIME.
BECAUSE things don't really get hectic until the last 20-30 seconds... And whether you make it depends on if you managed to not take excessive damage earlier in that level (when there were as many enemies coming on-screen nearly as often).
Thunder Force III vs Thunder Spirits. You never compared a shooter! :-)
@ben owen Oh well, not Sega's fault :-) I think it would be an interesting episode.
@@Nitrate900 Seconded! I've been recommending this comparison for years.
If it was done, SEGA will destroy Nintendo even harder than he did in the Mickey Mania episode.
Glad you guys are still keeping this going. Great episode!
I'm not gonna lie I miss Greg, I hope he is doing better. Nothing against Pat, he's great it's just I hear the music and I instantly think of Greg :(. Is this Pat's place?
This is Pat's place.
@@ConsoleWars Forgot to add, great video as always. Pretty much all of the Simpsons games on the 16 bit platforms were horrible messes.

Nice video, guys. Keep it up, dudes. Paperboy 2 is next.
P.S. I wish you should have and do Krusty's Super Fun House.
Thanks! And might need a Simpsons break for a bit.
That yellow paint must have been miserable to put on and take off. 🤣
Please do Virtua Bart, your videos are amazing
+HeavyMG The Genesis version of Virtual Bart was part of my childhood. I've actually been able to beat the game several times, and I think I'm in the minority of people who actually liked that game.
@@FlyingDuckMan360 You're probably right, since I, among others, don't like *_Virtual Bart_* at all.
The mini games in that game seem like good ideas, but are seriously flawed, and are *MUCH* harder to control.
Especially the tomato game!
I want to like *_Virtual Bart_* , but I just can't get behind the awful controls.
Now, Don't get me wrong, *_Bart's Nightmare_* is *far* from perfect, but I kind of like it since the control isn't horrible in both versions.
I have only played the SNES version. I like it a lot. Only draw back is the levels are chosen at random. Yeah there are the practice levels, but I always want to get better at the egg level, but practice only lets you play the tomato level
I know it’s unpopular opinion but I loved the heck out of this game as a kid. I added the game to the SNES Classic and I admit, it does have a lot of flaws but maybe I was riding that Simpsons high when I was younger. Best I could muster was a B but I did like it even though it was overly frustrating.
Love the videos and have been a fan for a number of years. Miss Greg and hope he’s well but Pat is coming into his own and is a great complement to the series. Keep on doing the good work. One of my favorite RUclipsrs by far.
I wanted to make this a "Best" video but the more I played it, the more I hated it. lol
Very nice Otto Mann cosplay! I've a slight disagreement in the graphics departments but *shrug*. For a future ep: how about a battle of First Person JRPGs: Shining in the Darkness and Arcana. I have the carts!
Wooooow new video. Thanks Dan and Pat, and regards for Greg. I love your channel guys xD
LOL I was just thinking about the Blotto l thing and then you used it YES I already know im gonna love this episode XD
The Graphics in the Bloodcell-Level are actually not bad. For both Systems
This is Channel is number one in console wars!
Zero the kamikaze and pitfall is my favorite next console wars...thanks, sorry my inglish is fail!
Autolifi Augusto there isn’t a zero the kamikaze squirrel episode... is there?
@@tawdryhepburn4686 sorry man,my english is limited and I do not understand your question...
Autolifi Augusto zero the kamakazie. Do you like that game, or did they do an episode on it?
@@tawdryhepburn4686 friend I'm asking to have visions and comparisons of the game zero the kamikase and pitfall because they are the best in judging the games in console wras!
The boss fight music sounds like basketball highlights should go along with it.
Im gonna suggest Aero the Acrobat til I die
One day.
Your impersonation of Otto was spot on.
Thanks!
This game is harder than Gary Busey
Harder than dragon bone armor.
Thanks guys, console wars has become one more reason for living! I'm like a little kid waiting for your episodes.
Glad we make you feel like a little kid again!
Great episode as allways guys!!! Can you do International Superstar Soccer Deluxe next please? The best soccer game on both systems!
would be the first time someone on youtube do a soccer comparison
When I was a kid I couldn't beat a single mini game but I kept playing because I loved the Cartoon.
Finally one about Simpsons Bart’s nightmare.
I love the "meeting to decide how the game will work" part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't have a cow man 😄👌
Great video guys!
OMG Acclaim had a bad track record for the 16 bit era. Wikipedia reports that Acclaim released 36 games for the SNES in North America. As far as I can tell, the strongest games were:
- Krusty's Super Fun House
- Mortal Kombat 1 (it hasn't aged well, but it was something else back in the day)
- Mortal Kombat 2
- NBA Jam
- NBA Jam TE
- Super Smash TV
So 6 god games, and 30 duds. Good gravy!!
(maybe Acclaim had a better track record on the Genesis??)
Was Acclaim even a top 15 publisher for the 16-bit era? I'm not exaggerating... I mean, you obviously had Sega and Nintendo, Konami, Capcom, Square, Enix, Electronic Arts, but then you add the other publishers like Data East, Hudson, Jalico, Ocean, Playmates, Sony Imagesoft, Sunsoft, Taito, Takara, Technosoft, Tengen, Tradewest, and Virgin Games. Acclaim falls somewhere in that second group of publishers, but probably near the end in terms of quality.
I loved this game back in the day. Indiana Bart was impossible tho.
Took forever but I finally beat that level. I hated Bartzilla the most.
yes it was a pain in the ass... i never got thru it.
I certainly understand why this game is universally hated, but I still like it. Sue me ^^
Nothing wrong with that.
Clayfighter or any madden. Maybe like Emmit smith football
Clayfighter!!
@@Leny1777 I had it on SNES. did they make a Genesis version?
@@elgatofelix8917 I think the first one has a sega version. Not sure.....
a little thing you forgot mention about the gameplay, It doesn't make a big difference but in the Indiana Jones level you have a Whip in the SNES version that it helps you to kill the annoying devil, you don't have it in the Genesis version but like a said before that doesn't make such a big difference, nice video guys
Its in the Sega game. I actually think the whip controls are better on Sega cause they correlate with the dead while the SNES whip is with the X,Y,A,and B. It was more confusing to me.
If this is a dream, would I be able to do this? (stabs leg) Eeeeyaaaaaah!!!
One of my absolute favourite channels - keep the awesome content coming! 😊
Dispite being bad I actually liked this game
I agree. Virtual Bart is *WAY* worse, Bart's Nightmare sucks too, but I also like it.
@@Dorian_Scott I never played that as a kid but always wanted to. Glad I missed it
@@critchblackpoolful The Controls in Virtual Bart are *TERRIBLE* . Good on you for not trying _that_ game!
@@Dorian_Scott haha I wanted to!! Most old Simpsons games arent very good looking back
The clouds do look cloudier in the SNES’s Bartman, but they just cover up the characters, where they don’t in the Genesis game.
Love your videos. Do blackthorne
I have to say i have never experienced slowdown on a MegaDrive but the super nintendo so many games slow down on real hardware.
I don't know why but I liked Dan's Sega-ness better.
What's my Sega-ness?
@@ConsoleWars I always liked Sega a slight better than Nintendo and you made it better. Dan your awesome!
Love your videos! but we need a console wars mini! simpsons gamegear vs simpsons gameboy! Come on guys!
But seriously love your guys clean, fun, and entertaining videos from many of my most favorite nostalgic games. keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoy it. I'm sure we'll get to the mini wars one day.
@@ConsoleWars I knew I'd get you guys to notice my 'mini wars' suggestion one of these videos! thanks! please keep up the good work! Always enjoy when one of your new videos releases. A good nostalgic ride with solid, clean, entertainment to boot. You guys are some of the good one's!
Paperboy 2 its the next episode! Still waiting for TMNT Tournament Fighters.
